Moorejw Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 If you heat up your main oven (3Kw) just to make a rice pudding or cook a casserole for two, why not invest in a smaller freestanding (1200w) oven or a Remushka (60 w - from lakeland). the saving on electricity makes the layout well worth it.

Callie Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 We've done just that : After 10 years of 'not a real kitchen, just a jumble of shelves', we finally made a real kitchen a couple of years ago. As there are only 2 or us, and a lot of the time just me, we decided to give out old Belling double oven electric cooker the boot. We replaced it with a gas hob and a small Rowenta freestanding oven which we have built in over the microwave.We also have a Godin cuisinière which has a big oven should we need it, though we would only use it in the colder months as it chucks out the heat.We reckon we have saved a fortune in electricity bills by changing over. I appreciate that this would not suit a larger family, but for us it's great ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This applies to all cooking heat sources not just electricity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Don't forget you can build a wood oven for less than 250 euros and fuel with free wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owens88 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Things might have changed but Which once reported that its the insulation level in an oven that saves you money, not making it smaller . Worth bearing in mind if you are tempted to buy an additional oven thinking it will save money. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 A good idea and I think 'er indoors will be getting one but I question the 60W quoted by Moorejw. According to the WEB SITE even the baby one is rated @ 230W.Happy new year to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee&Nik Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 we are planning to replace our old wood burning range oven with a more upto date version with a back boiler, so instead of stoking a wooburning fire we stoke a woodburning cooker/oven which heats the room, 6 radiators and the hot water! and with not a elec switch thrown! we have a gas cooker should we need a quick fix but it seems obvious that our planned system will be a great saving!summers we will use the gas cooker and BBQ and hot water by elec but the tanks here are so efficient it costs pennies.
